I'm the Head of Machine learning at Pacific Fusion. We are working on making fusion energy a reality by the end of the decade. You should seriously consider joining us.
Previously, I led the machine learning team at Carbon Re, where I worked on reducing CO2 emissions of heavy industries like cement. Before that, I obtained a PhD (DPhil) in machine learning from the University of Oxford under the supervision of Phil Torr and Pushmeet Kohli. There I was a member of St. Catherine's College and the Torr Vision Group. Before then, I did my undergraduate degree at Edinburgh, where I largely spent my time working on bayesian inference and RL for autonomous navigation in the Robust Autonomy and Decisions group under the supervision of Subramanian Ramamoorthy. During my studies I spent a significant amount of time working at Microsoft Research Cambridge, Facebook AI Research (FAIR), and DeepMind. I also helped FiveAI and Robotical during their early days
My original background is in electronics and control engineering--I used to build robots for a living. One day I'll be back to that, but it's time to fix climate change for good.
